Map Maker Help Raffle/Contest

So I had an idea for a contest of some sort for the site. There could be a raffle or a contest, and the winner would get something like 2 free hours of map editing assistance from one of the advanced mappers on this map.

We get lots of posts from people starting to edit, and this might be something a lot of them would love to have.

Re: Map Maker Help Raffle/Contest

Or let them learn on their own..... which can lead to diffrent mapping styles not similar mapping styles... Which is always a good thing.

Re: Map Maker Help Raffle/Contest

Helping someone make a map doesn't affect the style of the map, if you are making what they want you to make, unless you go and put your own ideas in it.

My idea isn't supposed to be a substitute for learning, its supposed to be just be a lucky reward and just something nice to do, god forbid you help someone with mapping panther.

Re: Map Maker Help Raffle/Contest

It could be something completely random, like just have a thread, where people post to enter with the only condition being that they have to have a project idea and some basic work, and then pick a random person

or it could be more of a contest, where people submit their project ideas, and the person whose map idea shows the most promise (based on some sort of vote) wins free help.

Re: Map Maker Help Raffle/Contest

You can't really do that much in 2 hours. Besides, consistent nagging has to work somethimes, right?

Contest name : So you think you can Map?

For the reward we need people to say their willing to blow 2 hours for this if they are picked.

I guess I will.
